Thielen (high ankle sprain yesterday) and Cook (shoulder sprain)

Both look to be out Thursday night.

Double Jefferson all game.

Gonna be a tough game but extremely winnable.

Nobody replied to my thread asking if Haden was going to be able to go, but Jefferson is special.

Real, real special.

Ja'Marr Chase level special and Chase ass raped us at will 2 weeks ago.

I like what I saw from Witherspoon but I'd much rather see Haden on the field against Jefferson.

Ehhh…two weeks ago, Chase had three catches for 30 yards, 0 TDs. The ass raping was inflicted by Joe Mixon and Tee Higgins.

i know i am not an athlete anymore and never was one of Haden's caliber or with his training support, but it took me 3 wks to be able to walk normally after a mid foot sprain let alone run and pivot on kt, one of the slowest heals i ever had fwiw

I've never understood when you double a WR why you still leave your best guy on the doubled WR. I want Haden on their second best (assuming he can go) since whoever is on the second best WR won't be getting help.

Well, with Rudolph at QB maybe not. But MIN is absolutely a game they should win. Nothing is automatic with this group, but they don't have the players to do what CIN and LAC did to our defense.

Minnesota is almost as bipolar as the Steelers:

Solid wins against Packers and Chargers (both of whom beat the Steelers). Also had wins against the Panthers, Seahawks and earlier against the Lions.

All 7 losses were one score - Ravens (OT - damn Tucker), Bengals (OT), Cardinals (1 point), Cowboys (4 points), Browns (7 points), 49ers (8 points)...
Well and yesterday's Lions game by 2 (Steelers fans feel their pain).

In short, either team is easily capable of winning on Thursday.

The best thing we have going for us is Ben - Cousins is a talented head case who can get it done sometimes but can just as easily go off the rails.
